(A harmone.) I think. (The strongest state an individual can go into. A form that can easily rival an outcross like myself. Pity I can never awaken mine. After all...I know how one achieves this awakening. The method is simple, while also being the most difficult thing possible: learning and accepting who you are.)

I escape the city hall and watch over the skirmish among the yakuza members.

(Following your heart in the greatest way possible, allowing for the rhime in one's body to let the heart beat to a unqiue rhythm. The rhythm of one's harmone song. The reason learning how to awaken it is discouraged is that it clouds the mind of those who know. Most people never awaken their harmone because they either don't know something about themselves, refuse to accept a certain quality, or perhaps believe themselves to be something they're not. But nothing like a near-death experience for people to reflect on their lives.)

I look down at the brawl. Not surprisingly, my minions have the upper hand. Although the opposing side is cured of my poison, they still didn't get the same level of treatment one can get at a hospital.

What is surprising is how they recovered from my poison in the first place. Actually, that Yamiso kid was poisoned too.

(How're they cured? Could...Oren have been responsible?)

I continue to watch the now one-sided battle.

(No matter. Let's end thi...!)

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A large beam of electricity is shot into the mob, hitting many of my lackeys. All those previously fighting stop to look at the source of the shot. Closing in fast, on floating carpets...

Are the Keisetsu members, all with serious expressions on their faces.

Within seconds, they reach the mob and start beating my minions, turning the tide in their favor.

"CHARGE!" the one called "Katsumi" yells.

GA! BATAN! SASA! FFFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And with them...

"Plant Drive: Pelican Plant!!!"

Is Togo, whose plants capture many more lackeys.

(Why!?...WHY MUST THEY CONTINUE TO INTERFERE!?!?!?)

I send most of my mist cloud into the fray...

BATAN!

As my solidified feet crash to the ground in the middle of the battlefield.

"You! All of you! Everything I've worked for! Ruined by the likes of you!!! No more games! And no more mercy!!!"

I engulf my body with as much rhime as I can muster...

"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And transform into my full body hydra form.

"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

While most of the yakuza members flee from me, the keisetsu members remain unfazed. One member, the fattest of the lot, starts walking towards me.

"Let me handle this." he proclaims.

"You can't fight this snake alone!" the one called "Crystal" shouts.

"Don't underestimate me. THIS is my time to shine."

Katsumi sighs.

"Don't destroy too much, okay?"

The fat one nods, takes out a recording crystal...

PARIN!

And throws it at the ground, shattering it. Rhime dispersed from it, along with its recorded audio.

Linked horizon's "Guren no Yumiya".

As the chorus starts the song, the fat one yells.

"Three months of calories. Nearly three months of rhime! All for this moment! Prepare yourself for my full power!"

Seid ihr das Essen?

Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

"Fire Drive: Magma Armor - Goliath! HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen)

A pillar of fire rhime erupts from the man's body and gradually increases in radius. Everyone, friend and foe alike, retreats from the ever expanding flames. Ever expanding. Continuously dispersing.

Until the pillar dissipates...revealing a large golem of magma. One so large even my largest snakes, when raising themselves as high as they can, will just barely match its height. And that easily matches the tallest building's height, surpassing 200 meters!

But it doesn't matter. I still cannot lose. I sent my remaining mist back into the theatre. No matter how strong my opponent, they can't kill what has no weak point.

Fumareta hana no Namae mo shirazu ni

Chi ni ochita tori wa Kaze o machiwabiru

"SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

Bo! Bo! Bo!

I send three snakes directly at the golem, but each one is immediately punched aside with great force by quick boxing jabs. For a golem, its movements are surprisingly agile.

Inotta tokoro de Nani mo kawaranai

Ima o kaeru no wa Tatakau kakugo da

Another snake is sent towards the golem's legs, coiling around it while slithering up the body.

Ggggaaaaaaaaaa....

Enduring the heat, the snake tightens its grip, crushing some of the armor.

"It won't be that easy!" the man's voice echoes from the golem's head. With every word, flames disperse from the part where its mouth would be.

Shikabane fumikoete

Susumu ishi o Warau buta yo

The golem's body begins to glow red, creating more heat.

"SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

Melting the flesh off my snake, leaving nothing but bones.

Kachiku no annei Kyogi no hanei

Shiseru garou no jiyuu wo~

I send five more snakes his way, making some circle around him, while others attack the golem directly.

Torawareta kutsujoku wa Hangeki no koushi da

Jouheki no sono kanata Emono wo hofuru JÄGER

BATAN! BATAN! BATAN! BATAN! GA!

The first snake sent forward is hit with quick jabs, then the second one is socked downwards before getting stepped on. The first circling snake attacks from above, but is hit with an uppercut. My second circling snake closes in from the side, just to be grabbed and melted. The last one, flanking from the opposite side, is also grabbed...

And is spun around at increasing speeds, lifting my body off the ground.

Hotobashiru shoudou ni sono mi o yakinagara

Tasogare ni hi o ugatsu

Guren no yumiya~

The golem lets go, tossing my hydra body high into the air. To prevent a crash landing, I convert my body to mist, then send the cloud towards the golem. I make my cloud surround him, but not too close to the body, risking evaporation.

"SSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

As the guitar solo begins, I solidify parts of the cloud into snakes from various points, sending them at the golem at once.

(I refuse to lose!) I think. (Not to anyone! Not anymore!)
